| 词条 | William Inglis (ferry) |
| 释义 |
William Inglis is a Toronto Island ferry operated by the Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division of the City of Toronto.[1] The ferry serves the Toronto Islands from a dock at Jack Layton Ferry Terminal in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The ferry was commissioned in 1935.[2] She was the first of three ferries built, to replace the ageing ferries the city inherited when it took over ferry operations from private industry. Initially, responsibility for operating a ferry service was assigned to the Toronto Transportation Commission. Her namesake was important Toronto industrialist William Inglis, who headed the John Inglis and Company founded by his father John Inglis. The ferry was built by the John Inglis Company.[4] In October 2012, Toronto City Council decided that funds should be set aside to replace William Inglis, and her two fleet-mates, Thomas Rennie and Sam McBride, with new vessels.[5] See also
